Smt. Hansaji also spoke on air on the Vividh Bharti radio station in celebration if the International Day of Yoga. “We are all unique individuals, according to spirituality, we are all potentially divine. So, if we live life following what others do, we will make mistakes. So the first thing we must learn to do is to know ourselves. The science of living life is yoga. Yoga includes psychology, philosophy and technology. Today, unfortunately, only the technology has become popular and the other aspects are more or less ignored. So we may claim we are doing yoga but we are not living yoga,” she stated. Hansaji also spoke on maintaining physical health, correct diet, simple lifestyle tips.

At the home front, at the premises of The Yoga Institute, there was a lot of activity on 21st June with many free camps held throughout the day to spread awareness of yoga among the people.
